After seeing the shabby notebook, Hetty finally realized the source of all this: "Are these...left by that wild mage?"
"Yes, a group of mainstream mage A low-level mage who is repulsive and can only linger in the second level all his life. His talent is far beyond everyone's imagination. However, this era does not give him any room to display." Gawain looked at the notebook in his hand with sigh, "I have been so talented these days. After reading some of the research notes inside, it seems to me that this notebook is worth at least half the dukedom."
Hetty was stunned: "Huh?"
< p>However, what Gawain said is not an exaggeration. In fact, from the perspective of technological development, the legacy left by the unknown wild mage will even show higher and higher value as time goes by. Although all of his research was in a very crude initial stage, Gawain was quite clear that for many epoch-making concepts and ideas, the "initial stage" was the most valuable stage.Gawain put the notebook on the table and looked up at Hetty: "His daughter, the child named Anne, is most likely suffering from the elemental assimilation syndrome of the shadow system, which can be said to be caused by many demons. It is the rarest of all energy diseases. As a mage, you should be familiar with this disease."
"Elemental assimilation... This is a disease unique to the Violet Kingdom, with a very low incidence rate. , but there is no cure," Hetty nodded slightly, "I guessed it when I saw those diaries."
In this world with magical power, there are many things related to Gawain. There are completely different things in the home world. Some of them are good, and of course there are also bad things - elemental assimilation syndrome is one of the worst things.
This disease caused by magic erosion is mostly seen in areas with strong magic power and active elements. During the Gondor Empire, it was mostly found in the Deep Blue Well area of the imperial capital, and even when the empire was at its peak, It is also one of the diseases that is almost incurable; in this era, it is a "specialty" of the Violet Kingdom in the north of the mainland.
If extraordinary power brings a gift of nature to humans in this world, then the assimilation of elements that accompanies it is like the malice mixed with this gift.
Elemental assimilation syndrome only occurs in newborns. It is a mutation caused by the radiation of magic energy when the fetus is developing in the mother's body. Children with this disease can grow normally at first, but as time passes, As they age, they will gradually show signs of being eroded and assimilated by specific elements. The patient's flesh and blood body was transformed during this process and gradually began to become semi-elementary. As the normal biological tissues were gradually elementalized, they would also be rejected from the main material world - except for a very few who had the ability. Except for races with special talents, no elemental creature can exist in the main material world for a long time. This is the natural law of this world.
This process accelerates as the disease deepens and is irreversible. When more than half of a person's biological tissues are elementalized,He will be "exiled" from the material world and pushed to the elemental plane corresponding to his elemental assimilation disorder.
Then he dies between the material world and the elemental world - the remaining biological tissue of the patient will make this process extremely terrifying, like being torn apart.
Annie, the daughter of the unknown wild mage, should have suffered from this disease, and it was the elemental assimilation of shadow tendencies: the rarest of all elemental assimilations.
Magicians and scholars have been studying various elemental realms for many years, but research on the mysterious shadow realm is difficult.
“There is no cure for elemental assimilation syndrome, it can only be delayed, and the most effective method of ‘delaying’ is to use magical power to bind the patient’s body, just like those elemental summoners using magic shackles to force a patient to Elemental creatures stay in the material world." Although Heti is only a low-level mage, he is still quite familiar with these theoretical knowledge. "But this is more difficult than binding an elemental creature, because the elemental assimilation syndrome will continue to deepen. The whole process requires continuous infusion of magic power..."
"A second-level mage, or a second-level mage who is ostracized in the secret society, does not have the ability or financial resources to maintain such expensive treatment. "Gawain nodded, "So he used his own method - to build a self-charging magic circle with unprecedented efficiency, and broke the iron law that similar magic circles can only circulate internally, turning this magic circle into a self-charging magic circle. It can be said that he was forced out of his daughter's 'charging' device, because all the large magic focus had been occupied, and the scattered secondary magic focus in the forest could not provide much energy at all, but he used his special His talent solved this problem."
"But that abnormal surge of magic destroyed his magic circle..." Heti suddenly thought of something, "In this case, this is named ' Doesn't the magic network's self-charging magic circle have a big flaw? When the magic power surges, it will be unable to withstand it..."
"No, the magic power surge does not destroy the structure of the magic circle. "It has very complete safety measures," Gawain shook his head, "I saw the structure of this magic circle with my own eyes at that time, and I can confirm that it was intact until the end. According to the wild mage's diary, it was not the magic circle that went wrong in the end. It was the 'Shadow Transformation' ritual he performed. The magic binding could only delay the process of elemental assimilation, but could not cure it. At that time, Anne was on the verge of losing control, so the wild mage took the risk to perform a ritual that he could not control at all - As a result, the magic power generated by the magic network when the magic power surged was beyond his ability."
"If that's the case...then I'm not worried," Hetty nodded slowly, then looked complicated. Looking at the notes left by the wild mage, "It's really unimaginable that a down-and-out wild mage can actually make such a thing... This large magic circle pieced together with basic units is different from any other kind that I know." The magic circle is different. It abandons almost all complicated and difficult structures, but takes...simplicity to the extreme."
"Please call it 'Tong'.Utility," Gawain smiled, "The work of laying the experimental 'Magic Network' in the blacksmith shop is..."
As he spoke, he stood between Hetty and Rebecca He hesitated. It was obviously more appropriate to leave the technical work of laying the magic circle to Heti. However, Heti has now taken on most of the work of coordinating the construction of the camp. Although she is very capable in this area, the next step is to build the magic experiment. The task in the room is still waiting for her, and Gawain really doesn't want to continue to increase her burden; it seems to be okay to leave it to Rebecca. Although she can only release fireballs, laying a magic circle is different from casting spells by herself, especially this kind of As long as she can complete the construction of the self-charging magic circle according to the drawings, all that is required is the mastery of theoretical knowledge and calculation ability, but how to put it...
Every time I see Rebbe Ka, she can't help but look at the silly roe deer... Is this girl really good?
As if seeing Gawain's hesitation, Rebecca jumped up without waiting for Hetty to say anything. He stood up and said: "Master Ancestor, Master Ancestor!" Leave it to me, leave it to me! I can do it! "
"Are you sure? Gawain looked at the other party deeply, "The importance of this project is beyond your imagination. It can be said to be a foundation and the precursor to many of my next plans... Can you handle it?"
Rebecca stopped jumping around immediately, thought about it seriously, and looked at Gawain timidly: "Then...will you hit me if I break it?" "
Gawain: "...Forget it, Hetty is the one who will do it..."
Before he finished speaking, Rebecca mustered up the courage to hold out her chest again. He said loudly: “But I still want to try! "
Gawain looked at the girl with interest: "Oh? "
"This magic circle... I find this magic circle very interesting. I think there are many places that are... very good. Maybe I can... I can..." Rebecca suddenly said He started to stutter a little, and even after a long time, he didn't say a follow-up. He simply went on and said, "Although I only know how to cast fireballs, my theoretical knowledge is very good!" My calculation skills are also very good! Besides, Aunt Hetty has been so busy recently, but I have done nothing except surveying the land and helping everyone burn wasteland. I feel..."
Looking at Rebecca's nervous look, Gawain couldn't bear to He couldn't help laughing and looked at Hetty: "Hetty, what do you mean? "
"Rebecca's theoretical knowledge and calculation ability are indeed very strong. In fact, aside from the most important item of spellcasting ability, her talent is better than mine," Hetty looked at Rui helplessly. Beca glanced at her and said, "Of course it would be nice to have a more stable personality. ”
“I am definitely stable! "Rebecca pushed her chest out hard, but her eyes were looking straight at the drawings Gawain put on the table, which made Gawain a little curious.
So he couldn't help but ask: "What do you think about it? Are you interested in this magic circle? "
"Yes," Rebecca scratched her hair, "Actually, I also thought about it a long time ago, if only those difficult magics could be made easier.If I could make it easier to cast spells, maybe I could also cast spells other than fireball... This magic circle inspired me a lot! ”
Gawain immediately stared straight at Rebecca, which made the little girl look creepy.
But a few seconds later, Gawain laughed: “Very well, then I’ll leave this matter to you. "
Rebecca was overjoyed: "Really? ! "
"Of course it's true," Gawain smoothly pulled out another piece of paper from under the table. It was a rough sketch of his "blacksmith shop". "According to this scale, let the entire yard be covered with water." It can be used as the coverage area of the 'Magic Network', and the first batch of furnaces will be built here. You can get the materials needed to draw the magic circle from the treasure house in the mountains. They are all ready-made there - although this magic circle is large in scale, it is a 'basic magic circle'. I believe that the magic metal and magic metal are readily available in the treasure house. The quartz sand that Philip Knight brought from Tanzanian Town is enough for you.
"Let's call this experimental Magic Network No. 1."
Rebecca, who was entrusted with the important task, left happily, while Hetty continued to work on it. While guiding the serfs and civilians who had just arrived at the camp to set up tents, Gawain and Amber were the only ones left in the tent for a while.
"You look very happy?" The half-elf lady looked up and down Gawain's expression, "I never saw you so happy when I got the document from the old king - yes Because teasing your great-great-great-great-granddaughter is fun?"
Gawain: "..."
Can this guy die if he talks nicely?
